Man Allegedly Holds Wife Captive 2 Years
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A man was arrested Friday for allegedly locking his wife inside their house for two years and threatening to kill her if she stepped outside.
David E. Mitchell Sr., 35, was charged Friday with false imprisonment and making threats.
Police rescued the 28-year-old woman and her four children - ages 2, 3, 7 and 8 - on June 2 by pulling them out the house through a partially opened window, said Sgt. Cathy Cook, a police spokeswoman.
Police received a tip from someone who had heard about the wife's situation - most likely through the woman's mother, Cook said.
Mitchell apparently kept his wife inside the house by using locks on the doors that were accessible only from the outside, and by nailing boards across the basement door.
The house did not have a phone.
``She was too afraid to leave because the husband had threatened her,'' Cook said.
It did not appear the children were under the same restrictions since the older children went to school, Cook said.
Police said the woman and her children are in protective custody.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
